C. W. Showalter, and Andrew King opened the Orpheus Hall on Thanksgiving Day, 30 November 1911. The amusement hall had a spring dance floor, but was also used for roller skating, basketball, banquets, and movies. It was named after the Greek god of Mirth, “a famous musician who is reputed to have had power to entrance men, beasts, and inanimate objects by the music of his lyre.” At 11:00 PM on New Years Eve, 1928, the hall was renamed Imperial Hall. In a ceremony on 20 April 1965, Governor Governor Calvin L. Rampton took a sledge hammer and delivered the first blow in the demolition of the hall as part of a community beautification campaign.

The Century 16 opened on 1 October 1998 with a "Canned Film Festival"
benefiting the Utah Food Bank. "Patrons were admitted to the inaugural
screening by donating a non-perishable food item." The 57,700
square-foot theater complex was built by Layton Construction and has 16
THX-certified theaters, all with stadium seating and digital sound. The
largest auditoriums seat 400 and the smallest 180. The old, domed
Century theaters and the Prudential Federal Savings building were
demolished to make room for the theater. The site has 8.41 acres.
